Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) is caused by a complex of different begomoviruses and DNA-β satellite molecules. Both the viruses and the satellites are transmitted by the Silverleaf whitefly (SLW).

The project was intended to collect germplasm of two of the wild relatives of cotton, Gossypium australe and G. sturtianum from eastern Australia, and to initiate a seed bank of these species.,

The aim of the present work is to assess the usefulness of pteridines in determining the age of adults of P. scutigera.

This review of the literature referring to A. macrospora indicates the extent of current knowledge about the pathogen and the disease it causes.
